Two Person Sling Swing
Looking for a place to sit and relax in your outdoor space after a long day at work, a Two Person Sling Swing will give you that place without a lot of work. With the sling seating no cushions will be needed and the canopy will allow you to have shade while sitting in a peaceful place.
I like the sling material for seating in patio furniture, it require little upkeep and is comfortable to sit for a long time. I have several sets of this type of seating in my outdoor space, they have lasted several years without any trouble or much cleaning.
Now lets look at the details of each of these patio swings and see what works best for your and your outdoor seating needs. For larger swings, see my information on the three seat patio swings in my post here.

My final thoughts on a 2 person sling swing
If your present patio swing looks like the one in the picture, you may want to look at a new Two Person Sling Swing for a replacement. The choices in this article will give you three different solutions to your patio seating needs.
I like the sling fabric as it takes little work to keep it looking fresh and it holds up well to outdoor weather conditions. If I was purchasing a 2 person sling swing today, I would look at the Camo version, it will offer extra storage with out getting out of the swing, if I am relaxing I do not want to get up to get a snack. If you are a heavier bunch, this swing will work well also.

Are they sold with a man to share them with? LOL Kidding, John! Swings remind me of my childhood: we had a huge one in the garden. I think I must create some space for a swing. It’s so cool relaxing and swinging at night!! With all these excellent ideas of yours, John, you help us create the patio of our dreams. Thank you so much!
